1 episodeRaccoon Wars, NFL Scammers & Past Crimes - Matt McCusker #1149
A speaker describes currently reading GK Chester's Orthodoxy, recounting how the book opens with a sailor who sails one degree off course and ends up rediscovering England, and how Chester set out to describe his own philosophical system only to realise he had simply re-derived orthodox Christianity. The speaker connects the book's sailor metaphor to their own experience of hard-won realisations that turned out to be old truths.
